A nourishing winter dessert which turns a warm shade of golden orange when cooked. From November to the end of March the markets are full of large pumpkins, expertly cut into cubes and rectangles ready to be made into this popular dessert. Invariably, chopped walnuts are the preferred topping in Istanbul, while the contrasting green pistachios are favoured in parts of Anatolia.
